Player General

So for a long time there has been an issue in HTML5 editor where even if you add the player general, it doesn't spawn in game like it does with silverlight maps. I was just wondering if this ever got solved or anything? I tested before and it didnt show up in game but maybe there is a trick to it ?

Making it into a scenario and then adding it to each player's cap at the first turn... But that's probably not what you're looking for

Also silverlight maps have some scripted(?) things like deleting general next turn when a player loses the game/surrenders, maybe it has something to do with that.

Nah couldn't be assed making a scenario, i know if you just clone the world map but then delete everything but keep the units then that works but it also can sometimes come with unintended bugs like areas of the map that are suppose to be ocean becoming land and so forth

Well that's why I cancelled making the World 2.0 after giving like 6-7 hours for the background...

Bump, is this still a thing or can we finally add generals without needing to clone the world map(this can be a bit buggy)
